Research Centre

The Research Centre offers innovative tools and data that allow buyers and sellers to gain valuable insight into products, potential partners, competitors or even an entire market.

The Web Visualization Tool enables users to view into the “deep web” by seeing the top 500 search results in a heat map format. The Message Analysis Tool distills a website or document into an easy to digest visual format.

The Research Centre offers access to proprietary data sources specializing in people, events, published reports, public relations and other topics.

The basic functionality of the GSMA Marketplace’s Research Centre is free for buyers and for Gold or Platinum seller accounts. Additional data sources and tools like Buzz Analysis, Trademark/Patent Analysis and Research Projects may be purchased for a nominal fee.
